Genes affected
POLE (HGNC:9177): (DNA polymerase epsilon, catalytic subunit) This gene encodes the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase epsilon. The enzyme is involved in DNA repair and chromosomal DNA replication. Mutations in this gene have been associated with colorectal cancer 12 and facial dysmorphism, immunodeficiency, livedo, and short stature. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 395 of the POLE protein (p.Gly395Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs546499094, gnomAD 0.07%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 32567205). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 246477). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt POLE protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The POLE c.1184G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly395Glu. This variant has been reported in two individuals with colorectal cancer or breast cancer (Siraj et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32567205; Table S3, de Oliveira et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35534704). This variant is reported in 0.068% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as uncertain in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/246477/). This variant resides in the exonuclease domain of the POLE protein (Palles et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23263490; Mur et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32792570). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.G395E variant (also known as c.1184G>A), located in coding exon 12 of the POLE gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1184. The glycine at codon 395 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was identified in an individual diagnosed with colorectal cancer from the Middle East (Siraj AK et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med, 2020 08;8:e1368). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
